Russell Wilson is opening up about parenthood.

During the Monday, February 26, episode of the “I Am Athlete” podcast, the Denver Broncos quarterback, 35, spoke about the “responsibility” of being a stepfather to wife Ciara’s 9-year-old son, Future Jr., whom she shares with ex Future.

Ciara has also been candid about the perks of motherhood. “The joy the kids bring me every day is beyond my wildest dreams,” she told Us Weekly exclusively in July 2023. “They’re just so funny and make my life so full. While it is an all-day job and so, so hard a lot of the time, everything truly is worth it in spades!”

Two months later, she opened up about coparenting with Future in an interview with The Shade Room’s Thembi.
